My HPOfficejet Pro K550 will not print checks correctly

My K550 printer will not print checks correctly. It pulls multiple checks through at a time. I can print regular paper in multiple page documents though and it prints perfectly. Is this a setting issue for checks or is there another problem with this printer?Crystal

for future refs: if the paper type and size (in this case checks) is set up correctly in the software that you are using to create the checks, perhaps it would help to check the printer settings. this link at hp support might help you then:

Do a test print...assuming you have done multiple print head cleans... if it fails to print ANY cyan, I'd guess the print head is dead... although to be honest im not an expert with this hp printer. if that is the case, it probably isnt worth repairing. If it does print some cyan, just missing, you may be able to find info, sorry, I cant help you there, on accessing the service or maintenance mode and doing a higher level clean, if your printer supports that. As a last option, disassembly and soaking the bottom of the print head in cleaning solution /water... overnight, without getting ANY water on any contacts, then re running print cleans.

good luck

in my exp, again, not with this printer, mind you, if a print head fails to print ANY ink for a given colour, the print head is usually faulty.

I am having the same problem. I have tried reinstalling, looking for paper jams, blowing it out with canned air, and removed it from a print server network box. I downloaded the Hardware detection utility which told me it was in an error state, but does not give the discription of the state, just instructions on how to reboot the printer, which I have also done many times. Is it a dead duck and time to move on?Thanks for your help.

go to the printer control panel, right click your printer and open preference or may be properties on your end, Click the Color tab, and change the color option to black or color. hope this helps. feel free to rate how helpful it is.

Have you tried a different brand of paper?. When choosing the paper try and select one which the sheets can slide easily over each other. I had loads of problems with multiple feeds and paper jams with a cheap paper. I then changed to a heavier 90gsm all in one paper from staples and have had no more problems since.(and i just chuck the paper in straight from the packet with no fanning etc)

mostly there is paper stuck in the paper feed roller at the bottom of the printer remove the paper tray and look at the roller and if paper is jammed remove from rollers and reset the printer. this should solve your problem . bye hope it does
